Review followup: PR #124 — GH#123: preserve WP ULike controls after inline Save

Unaddressed review bot suggestions

PR #124 was merged with unaddressed review bot feedback. Each comment
below includes its file path, line number, a direct link to the inline
review comment, and a diff fence with the code context the bot was
flagging. Resolved and outdated threads are filtered out via GitHub's
GraphQL review-thread state. Read the relevant lines, decide whether
the suggestion is correct, and either apply the fix or close this issue
with a wontfix rationale.

You are the triager (worker-is-triager rule)

This issue is auto-created from review bot output and dispatched
directly to you. Review bots can be wrong: hallucinated line refs, false
premises about codebase structure, template-driven sweeps without
measurements (see GH#17832-17835 for prior art and AGENTS.md
"AI-Generated Issue Quality"). Do not assume the bot is correct. Verify before acting.

You must end in exactly one of three outcomes — no fourth "hand it back
to the human" path exists. Humans approve decisions; they do not re-do
analysis.

Outcome A — Premise falsified → close the issue

1. Read the cited file:line (listed under Files to modify below).

2. If the bot's claim is factually wrong (file doesn't exist at that
   line, function doesn't behave as described, "auto-generated" section
   isn't actually auto-generated, etc.), close the issue with a
   comment in this shape:

   Premise falsified. <what the bot claimed>. <what the code
   actually shows, with a file:line citation or one-line quote>.
   Not acting.

   No PR. No further dispatch. The closing comment trains the next
   session reading this thread and the noise filter.

Outcome B — Premise correct + fix is obvious → implement and PR

1. Verify the bot's premise as above.
2. Read the Worker Guidance section below, open a worktree, implement.
3. Open a PR with Resolves #<this-issue-number> in the body
   (use THIS issue's number, not the source PR's) so merge auto-closes it.
4. Follow the normal Lifecycle Gate (brief, tests, review-bot-gate,
   merge, postflight).

Outcome C — Premise correct but approach is a genuine judgment call

Only use this path if you reach it after Outcomes A and B don't apply:
the bot's finding is real, but the fix requires a decision that is
architectural, policy, breaking-change, or otherwise genuinely outside
what you can resolve autonomously. In that case, post a decision
comment with exactly these fields:

• Premise check: one line, confirming the finding is real.
• Analysis: 2-4 bullets on the trade-offs.
• Recommended path: the option you would take if the decision were
  yours, with rationale.
• Specific question: the single decision the human needs to make
  (yes/no or pick-one, not open-ended).

Then apply hold-for-review and stop. The human wakes up to a
ready-to-approve recommendation, not a blank task.

Ambiguity about scope or style is not Outcome C. Per
AGENTS.md "Reasoning responsibility", the model does the
thinking and delivers a recommendation. Only escalate what is genuinely
a maintainer-only decision.

Files Scope

• src/js/comment-editing/editing.js
• dist/sce-editing.js

Files to modify:

• src/js/comment-editing/editing.js:135

Implementation steps (Outcome B path):

1. Read the diff block under each inline comment below — it shows the
   exact code the bot was flagging. Open the file only if you need
   surrounding context beyond what the diff tail shows.
2. Read the bot's full comment below the diff — it contains the rationale
   and any suggested change.
3. Verify the premise before implementing (see Outcome A). If the premise
   is wrong, switch to Outcome A instead of burning iterations trying to
   satisfy a wrong suggestion.
4. If multiple comments target the same file, group your edits into one
   logical commit.
5. Run shellcheck / markdownlint-cli2 / project tests as appropriate.

Verification:

• Open the new PR with Resolves #<this-issue> so this followup is auto-closed on merge.
• If the bot's suggestion was incorrect, close this issue with a Outcome A comment — do not open a no-op PR.

Remove matching controls nested in the Save response.

If a response filter wraps a matching .wpulike control in another element, comment.children does not find it. The Save then leaves the returned control beside the retained live control. Search descendants of comment for matching controls before reinserting the original nodes. (github.com)

Update the Save response cleanup to find and remove matching `.wpulike` controls
anywhere under `comment`, including nested descendants, before reinserting the
original nodes. Keep the existing live control reinsertion behavior unchanged.
